WASHINGTON — If you were out of the country last week or otherwise blocked out the news, you may have missed that Congress passed a 2-year budget deal that that raises the debt ceiling and lifts spending through 2017. The agreement came about from a series of closed-door, highly secretive meetings between congressional leaders and President Obama, all before Paul Ryan assumed his new office as Speaker of the House.

Now, as the President has signed the deal, Senator David Perdue (who sits on the Senate Budget Committee) outlines in a new video why he voted against the bill.

Spoiler alert: he says the back room budget “abandons conservative budget principles, suspends the debt ceiling, and uses budget tricks to spend more taxpayer money.”
